I actually cried watching this.
This movie is about a girl who gets in a car accident and kills two people and she survives. She is in so much pain afterwards that she gets addicted to painkillers. There were so many moments in this movie that got me emotional and I even cried at a lot of moments because even though I am no drug addict, I related to the main character so much because even though she caused the car accident, she blamed herself nonstop for it and never got over it. And I've been the same way too with stuff that happened in my life; only difference is 90 percent of the time it isn't my fault. It's like a part of me sympathizes the main character but doesn't at the same time. And I won't give away spoilers so you gotta watch it yourself to realize why I say that. Overall, this was a great movie and it can leave you with a lot of emotions. I give it an 8 out of 10. And tbh this was the first time in my life I ever cried AFTER a movie ended.
You don't get it if you haven't been there.
To start, I LOVE Florence Pugh. She had me at Midsommer and I've been a huge fan since. She definitely was the amazing talent in this movie. I chose my title because, as many of you probably do, you scroll through the other posts and then come up with your own take and THIS MOVIE - is one that is much better if your life has been somewhere close to where Allie's (Pugh) life took her. This is a story of grief, guilt, love, hate - it really runs the gamut. Admittedly, the story doesn't bring anything new to the table but I don't think it has to. I believe that when you can see yourself through Allie's story - it's pretty gripping. How did Allison Janney say it in 'The Help' - 'love and hate are two ends of the same horse'? I guess you're going to love this movie or hate it. As a woman of 50+ years that has had my own rocky road, I'm blown away at how well FP acts out the character of Allie. She's so young and it usually takes real life trauma to unearth those acting chops.
I vote you watch this. Zach Braff (director) punched out a great story.
